@SmudgeTheInsultCat But where did the dinosaurs emerge?
All over the place apparently

A more complete version of the croc & birds grouping, with several extinct groups.
Cred to wiki.

(illustrating Therapoda with a pigeon instead of a T Rex will always be funny to me)

Cladogram of the Archosuchia group. Top half the many lineages of Pseudosuchia with all but the Crocodylomorpha (crocs & gators etc) marked as extinct. Bottom half the lineages of Avemetatarsila, with all but Therapoda marked as extinct. Birds are Therapods, after all just like the Tyrannosaurs were. First branching of the Avemetatarsila were the Pterosauromorpha i.e. the flyers some uninformed people sometimes also call dinosaurs.
